Nexus 5 rumors.

Quote:

Android and Me claims to have received an unverified tip that Google plans to release a Nexus 5 phone around October of this year and is currently evaluating prototypes from multiple manufacturers, including one from LG code-named "Megalodon."

5.2-inch 1,920x1,080-pixel OLED Display
2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800
3GB RAM
16-megapixel rear camera by OmniVision, capable of recording 4K video
2.1-megapixel front camera capable of recording 1080p video
3,300mAh lithium polymer battery
Front stereo speakers
Qualcomm RF360 (LTE 150Mbps and HSPA+)

It's also rumored to come in the standard 16/32/64GB storage options and feature some sort of gesture-based controls.

Sounds neat but 5.2" screen is too big. I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, I don't really need anything in between.

The new s4 is looking pretty good. Comes out in April.

After owning a Nexus I cannot go with anything else. Unfortunately the Nexus 4 doesn't have LTE and my contract is up later this year... so naturally the Nexus 5 is the next step.

Not having LTE hasn't been a problem for me. I've been able to stream pretty much anything so far. HSPA+ coverage is pretty good here.

I play a lot of a game that requires constant internet connection so LTE is almost a must.

Something is wrong with my Galaxy S2 i777 model. Had to factory reset and every time I try to update to 4.0.4 it said "installation interrupted phone up to date". So now I'm stuck with 2.3.4.

njx9 · 03-20-2013, 03:03 PM

the Note2 is still the best phone i've ever used. next step is rooting it so i can remove some of the canned crap. i have no idea how i ever used a smaller device for email/web/text.

Raiderz4Life · 03-20-2013, 03:14 PM

I wanted a Note 2 but decided to hold off for the S4 which is making me jizz myself.

Depending I have some interest in the HTC One... I would have to root instantly though to get rid of the bloat and HTC Sense (Barf)

Haha, I just couldn't do it. It's so damn big. I can see the appeal for some people but I just couldn't imagine myself using it.

I don't know why I think like this, considering I have big hands and holding larger phones isn't an issue but for some reason it just bothers me.

I'm interested in the S4. I'm hoping the S5 (or whatever is it's predecessor is) comes out when I'm done with my current phone in a couple years.

We miss you on this team :-(

yeah, if my last one had *just* gotten stolen, i'd probably wait for the s4. though it looks like the functional size is nearly identical now.

yeah, i usually wait for the first update on new phones, for any bug fixes or similar issues, then root away. i mean, i'm not rob, i don't need the zappos app pre-installed.

fwiw, the s4 is roughly the same functional size. the note 2 is barely bigger than an s3, for that matter. either way, i hate playing with my mom's iphone now, there's just no space for anything. which is weird because i used to love my old razr because it was tiny. *shrug*

to be fair, if i ever talked on the phone, i'd probably not be as big on the size.

Yeah, that's why I probably wouldn't get an S4 even if I had the choice now. It's too big. I know they won't go smaller with S5, presumably, but I'm hoping they release a REALLY nice S5 Mini version or something.

Finally getting 4.2.2 on my Galaxy Nexus.

Android blows balls. Have fun with your phone after a year when all the spyware from the ads turns your phone into a giant piece of crap.

Bert Macklin · 03-20-2013, 08:28 PM

Rooted and installed 4.2.1 on my S2 and holy **** I love it.

Nalej · 03-20-2013, 08:51 PM

Best phone I've ever had is the LG Optimus G.
The LG UI makes the phone feel like it's rooted with how customizable it is.
That's while still using ICS. Which sus a not since I was rooted and had JB on my last phone.
I do miss Google Now though. I use calender a lot so I loved the "leave by__ to get to appointment on time"

The only people who get viruses and spyware on their phones are morons.

I find it very comical when people brag that Mac's don't have viruses.

Yeah, because no one uses them enough for hackers and such to give a damn about them.

and they're *always* the first one's cracked at the white hat conventions. but it's irrelevant. with one simple step, you'll never kill your actual computer unless someone really angry actually targets you.
